Volvo’s performance and motorsport arm is to transition to all-electrified performance cars

With a new boss at the helm, Polestar is set to become an electrified performance car arm for Volvo.

New Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath was previously one of the men at the top of Volvo’s design chain, and is said – by Volvo – to have been in charge of many of the recent design decisions the company has taken.

“Polestar will be a credible competitor in the emerging global market for high performance electrified cars. With Polestar, we are able to offer electrified cars to the world’s most demanding, progressive drivers in all market segments.
